D-Maub So professional

My Thoughts & the Lyrics

 This marks the start of a series of 100 posts where I will talk about 100 Christian Rap tracks that nurtured me in my walk and growth in Christ. If you are a Christian Rap fan you'll love these tracks. They are not ordered according to how good they are but as chronological as possible according to when I first heard the track and not necessarily when it was released. Well here is #1.

 

I've heard him referred to as "Mr So Professional", and that who he is to me! So professional is a track off his album "Inside Out". This is the first Christian Rap track that I could sing word for word, bar for bar. I was a baby in my walk in Christ when I got introduced to D-Maub's music. Firstly it was through this song and later on the Solus Christus compilation. The lyrical content spoke to me personally, and to further captivate me was his lyrical prowess and word-play. This shattered the myth that Christian Rap was substandard when compared to secular Rap. I've gone on to get other D-Maub songs and features prior to and post "So professional", but this particular one still holds a special place in my heart. Let's go through the lyrics:

Intro:

Wark it like a pro...Wark it wark it like a pro (hey)

Wark it like a pro...Wark it wark it like a pro (hey)

Wark it like a pro...Wark it wark it like a pro (hey)

Wark it like a pro...Wark it wark it like a pro (hey)

 

Hook:

When it's time to put it down Ima wark it like a pro

Got ma feet on solid ground so I wark it like a pro

When I run up in ya town Ima work it like a pro

Ima work it like a pro

Wark it wark it like a pro

 

Verse 1:

Bottom line my ministry is my life so passionate

You can tell from the chemistry when Iiiiiiii WRite

I'm serious about this business spin to my slumber

Cover the north East of the hemisphere

Now that's a lot of rapping

But look around you dont need to travel to Phoenix to see's been a lot of shacking

Has been a lot of crapping, the body

Hollywood, come to church if you wanna see a lot of acting

Some people come for a show

So when I hit the building, I make sure I worship soon as I come through the door

My spirit tell em yes, even when you come with the NO!

I know you want the truth

You are lucky it come with the flow

It's eaaaasy, to do my work when I'm on top of ma game

Even when I'm faced with advesities I will not complain

This thing, Tryna get challenging messing with ma brain

But see, I sta-sta-sta stay on target with my aim

Can't get discouraged I push right until something happen

Someone is rapping but no lives is changing

Hey sumin is lacking

I work my ministry, y'all just talking lots with no action

Sleep from no subtraction brother can keep on tracking

 

Hook:

When it's time to put it down Ima wark it like a pro

Got ma feet on solid ground so I wark it like a pro

When I run up in ya town Ima work it like a pro

Ima work it like a pro

Wark it wark it like a pro

 

Bridge:

I'm so professional  (aa)

I'm so professional  (ea)

I'm so professional  (yeah)

I'm so professional 

Verse 2:

Heiii

Why you gonna try and play me like a roockie

When I'm a pro, Know how I know?

Cause he aint overlook me

The world overtook me, now he just take me over

I told ya, I'm proof he knows how to create a soldier

You see my  armour homey?

I know you don't...It ain't physical

But please believe that don't mean I aint got armour on me

You know...you know...my God is ...my God is...omni...omni ..present...present

Always...always with me...with me I'm far from lonely

So I got no worries when I'm out here

And I learned that everyone who doubts fear

In some sort of ways he some sort of played with fire (ah-ah)

Gotta holla at the auntaay

I'm tired of looking at the choir (ah-ah)

I do what I do just to inspire (ah-ah)

It would be real nice if in Christ you go higher (ah-ah)

So even when it come down to the wire (ah-ah)

You keep your grip on life like pliers

 

Hook:

When it's time to put it down Ima wark it like a pro

Got ma feet on solid ground so I wark it like a pro
When I run up in ya town Ima work it like a pro
Ima work it like a pro
Wark it wark it like a pro

Bridge:
I'm so professional  (aa)
I'm so professional  (ea)
I'm so professional  (yeah)
I'm so professional  (ah)
 

Verse 3:

Ah so professional, serve the one who is incredible
Anything else is unacceptable, Rather be a vegetable
Go bring light from where you came some are sceptical
But somebody gotta go over the bridge and breakdown the parables
Sometime I think like, this mission is so unbearable
After I'm reminded who's in me that thought become hysterical
So then I'm confident to go out in a world that's terrible
And help you not focus on the perishable

 

Hook:

When it's time to put it down Ima wark it like a pro
Got ma feet on solid ground so I wark it like a pro
When I run up in ya town Ima work it like a pro
Ima work it like a pro
Wark it wark it like a pro

 

Bridge:

I'm so professional  (aa)
I'm so professional  (ea)
I'm so professional  (yeah)

When FAKE Recognises REAL

When Fake Recognises REAL

 

Every day we hear it, we read it in posts on Twitter and Facebook. "Real recognise Real" is a phrase that is coined by one appreciating the work of another while at the same time not downplaying their own noteworthy contribution in the same or similar area.

 

When two fakes meet:

In his own eyes, fake is real. More than often even the realest. Thus when you bring two fakes together they'll also coin the phrase "Real recognise real" not recognising the absence of real in this instance. The sons of Eli, Hophnei and Phenias most definitely viewed themselves and each other as real, thus their inability to reform when corrected. Walking on the wrong path has a blinding effect. One can no longer look beyond oneself, thus in their own eyes they are always right.

 

Real doesn't always recognise real:

 

I have seen countless posts on social media networks as well as videos of Christians criticising other Christians. This is usually a case of one "REAL" Christian speaking out because he feels he has identified a "FAKE" Christian. What we often forget is the fact that walking on the wrong road does not make you a "FAKE" Christian, more than often it reaffirms the fact that we are actually human beings, flesh and blood that is not perfect. What I've always found queer is that the ones that criticise others seem to forget that they too are not perfect. I am always pleased to see us as a body of Christ identifying and alerting one another to our short-coming. I for one would not be pleased if I were to find out that I have been walking the wrong way while others who could see this did not say anything, we ought to be one another's keeper.  However what I do not usually approve is the methods that we use to reach those we see walking off course. People post on the social media for the whole world to see. Once this is done room for dialogue is closed thus one person here is pushed away. Correction should always be in private. Nowadays I see of lot of believers who behave the same way that the Pharisee did in the story of the Pharisee and tax collector.

 

The Pharisee and the Tax Collector

9 He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt:10 "Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus:' God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortionists, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get. ' 13 But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner! ' 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted."

John the Baptist had recognised Christ even before his birth. The bible says while he was still in the womb he was excited at the presence of the mother who carried Christ.

 

Luke 1:41: And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, 42 and she exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord."

 

None of us can say John the Baptist was not "REAL", he was as real as it gets. He baptised Christ, he honoured him with his mouth. He paved the way for Christ. Yet in the darkest of hours the man who had always recognised the REALNESS of the Messiah sent a messenger to confirm this realness.

 

Luke 7:18: 18 The disciples of John reported all these things to him. And John, 19 calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to the Lord, saying, "Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?" 20 And when the men had to him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, 'Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another? '" 21 In that hour he healed many people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and on many who were blind he bestowed sight. 22 And he answered them, "Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them. 23 And blessed is the one who is not offended by me."

 

Just because you do not recognise their realness does not mean that they are not real. The bible teaches us to identify these people by their fruits, which is why Jesus instructed John's messengers to go and tell him what they had seen

 

Real can be enlightened by Fake:

Nicodemus was part of the religious elite of his time. Man of authority. Man whose words were always accepted by most as fact when it came to spiritual things. In the eyes of most, Nicodemus was real and Christ was fake. I mean Nicodemus spent his time with "righteous" men like Capphais the high priest while Jesus spent his time with "wicked" men like Zaccheus. However the bible speaks of a time when "REAL" went in pursuit of "FAKE". It says he went to Jesus by night to seek enlightment.

 

When Real realises he is actually fake:

The book of Acts speaks of a very passionate man by the name of Saul. Saul had such an amazing passion for whatever his conviction was. When he believed those that followed "the Way", or Christians as they are known nowadays were blaspheming the name of God by claiming Jesus was Lord he mercilessly went after them. His conviction was so great that his own territory was becoming small. He sought permission to go far and wide to persecute more "FAKE" people. Obviously his friends who were as "REAL" as he was and shared his conviction made it possible by providing the necessary paper work. On route to Damascus, his story changes. We understand that a bright light crossed his path and he fell off his horse. When addressed by Jesus, he responded  "Who are you LORD?" He recognised that this was a power greater than any he knew or possessed. It went on to say that from the time his sight was restored to him through Barnabas, Saul began to preach about this Lord whose people he had long persecuted.

 

There is a brutal fire that is set ablaze when fake recognises real. Saul travelled as far as the Lord could carry him and took this message of Christ even to Rome. He faced more opposition than he had faced before but his fire burned even more for Christ. He celebrated his suffering for the name of this man that he had always viewed as "FAKE." The fake Saul became REAL Paul and wrote about half of the new testament, his teachings live on. That is what happens when fake recognises real!

Modern day examples: 

The monk who rose from the dead: I have followed a few leads on this story but have been unable to prove it true or false. As the story goes, a bhuddist monk died and went to hell. Apparently he was dead for three days and arose thereafter to tell what he had seen. He saw Bhudda and other monks in hell. He saw what he thought was "REAL"  in hell, thus recognising that it was actually fake. He shared his experience and many monks have given their lives to Christ.

The Hindu guru preaching Jesus in their temple: This I saw filmed in a Darren Wilson documentary. The footage is as real as it gets, no retakes. Jesus appeared in a Hindu guru's dreams and also in that of an Indian evangelist. They were both instructed to meet up and on meeting up the evangelist, Ravi went on to teach about Christ to this guru. Who accepted Christ and went on to teach about him in his Hindu temple, with his talk accompanied by miracles. What a mighty God we serve.

Conclusion:

The distinction between real and fake is often so blurred, we need wisdom to recognise it. It take a lot of guts to accept when you are fake, and pursue realness. Humility is the key. Let us approach those we feel are fake in the right way, with an aim to redeem and not to annihilate. Do it privately, there is no need for the whole world to know. Salvation only occurs when FAKE recognises REAL.

Whose Jesus do you believe in?

Whose Jesus do you know?

Is your faith a "Hotspot Faith?"

Your God is the God of Abraham? The God of Isaac? The God of Jacob? Does this lineage stretch all the way to you or does it stop somewhere on Pastor or Reverend or perhaps Prophet so and so? Is your faith a hotspot faith? Whatever could you mean by that? you may ask. A hotspot faith is a faith that is not able to stand alone. You see once a wifi hotspot is switched off or shutdown everything that is connected through it also loses connection. Throughout his ministry on earth, Christ equipped his disciples to stand alone and not be "hotspot believers". This is why even after he died, their faith remained alive. Sadly nowadays we witness masses of believers turning away from their denomination and often times even from God himself because such and such a pastor, or reverend, elder or prophet has sinned and fallen within the public eye. I'll pose my title question again :Whose Jesus do you know? If you know "my Jesus" you are bound to fall because I am a man, and as hard as I may try to live a righteous life I am bound to fall short. If you are following "my Jesus" you'll stray when you see me stray. When I fail in your eyes it will be as though Jesus has failed.

God wants a personal relationship

However God desires to have a personal relationship with each and every one of us. Take note: I said "personal" not "inter-personal". He wants you to know him for yourself. When you know Christ personally, no matter what any prophet or elder or Science itself may say or do your faith is unshaken! Jesus desires to walk besides each one of us on a daily basis. When believers become dependent on a leader who is human, the burden on him becomes great. In mega-churches with hundreds of thousands of members it becomes less and less possible to have direct access to the leaders. This leaves us to walk alone. Jesus is omnipresent! He is able to walk on each and every one of us' paths without giving more attention to another or loving another any less than another. That is why is extremely essential to have direct access. When Christ died the veil that blocked us from accessing the holy of holies was torn from top to bottom. This was done to grant us direct access to the king.

Sons of Sceva

Acts 19:11-20 speaks of a season in which God was doing some mighty works. In a season such as the one in which we are living today. While Paul and the other apostles were moving in the spirit and bring liberty to the captives. The bibles speaks the sons of Sceva. These boys I believe were amused by what they saw the apostles do. They picked up what I have heard described as a "hotspot" anointing. They tried to cast out demons "in the name of Jesus whom Paul spoke of." Their knowledge of Jesus was not first-hand. They knew him through another. Their results were different from what the expected. They were beaten until their clothes tore off them. The problem here was not that the sons of Sceva did not have the right motives. The issue here was that they knew of Jesus "whom Paul spoke of." If you are in the same place life will answer you in the same way, "Jesus we know but who are you?" You can not be identified in Christ until you know Christ personally. Someone else put it more beautifully, he said "God's aim is to make us his BRIDE, not just disciples." When you become a bride, you share in the power and possessions of your groom. Just because he knew God himself Elijah was able to stand up against the prophet of Baal. When you become one with Christ, people begin to see him when they look at you. The bible says when you saw Jesus you saw the father! The authority is not placed on individuals but on Christ who is in these individuals.

 

Distortion

I have read of multiple things being done in the name of Jesus, most recently that of a "naked church." Until you know Jesus for yourself you are open to being led astray. However when you know Jesus personally you have the ability to read something of that sort and instantly know that is not the Jesus that you know. Many will come in his name, the bible prophesied this long before we lived. It still speaks today, with even more relevance. The word is distorted or twisted because we as believers follow our "leaders" blindly! You eyes should be more on Christ himself than on any preacher or whatever else they call themselves.

Verdict

I am happy to see a great work of God. Am always pleased to see the hand of God on people's lives. To see the young prophesy and such, that is what I live for! However when I begin to see people focus complete on the map of God and not the God of that man. You see one says the God of preacher or prophet so and so shall see me through. You hear of these individuals then placing these leaders' picture and what not and then attesting their deliverance to these things. You see God is a jealous God. He will not share his glory with men!!! Anyhow that is a subject for another post. As a believer you aim is to be open to God's pursuit of you, to draw nearer to him and he draws near to you. Your aim should be to know him more and more so you and Jesus become a union. The purpose of leaders is guidance, in the same way that parents and other elders would guide us in marriage. They are not to take the place of Jesus, in the same that a best man at a wedding does not take the place of the groom.

The Jesus you believe in should shift from being the God of so and so to being your God! When that shift occurs you gain authority, you speak more boldly and with more confidence in these things. My prayer is that the kingdom of God would live in each and every one of us and not just in a chosen few. In the last few months the question I have gotten the most from all over the world is "How do I do what you do?"  "How can I hear from God as you do?" These words bring the realisation that some people begin to focus on YOU instead of HIM (God). I believe we are living in a great time where the holy spirit is moving among us like no generation before. Acts 2:17 says: In the last days,' God says, 'I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

We are in these lasts that were spoken of. And take note that he says he will pour out his spirit upon "ALL" people and not "SOME" people. Seek Christ and not man.

Put service back into the church service

Put service back into the church service by Jeremy Myers (Book Review)

 

 

This is possibly one of the most thought provoking and challenging books I have read in a while. The title of the book itself had my attention, because I agree that there is little service left in the church. I am always looking to learn from others perspectives so as to correct the ills in my own ways and also to be able to impart the good things that I learn to others. I'll attempt to review this book chapter by chapter, if I am successful you will be on your way to get a copy.

Cancel Your Church service

Yes this chapter actually suggests the ridiculous thing that the title says, to "Cancel the church service". In this chapter Jeremy explains why we ought to cancel the church service in order to actually be able to serve. His perspective is so well explained that I was convicted throughout this chapter. I have always been of a similar opinion, well not as bold as his is. As rightly pointed out in this book cancelling church service would potentially put the pastor out of a job as we know it. This is even more beautiful coming from a former pastor himself. Jeremy suggests that by cancelling church service we would potentially allow people to actually go out there and serve. Which would in fact bring "service back into church service." A great analogy in this book is that of a Christian on her way to a church service when they receive a call for help from a neighbour. Would they go on to church and come back and see the neighbour afterwards? Or would they forget about church service for that day and go out and serve this neighbour? What touched me most about this point is that I was actually able to replay one moment where I picked "church service" over actually serving. It was not a particular emergency but does someone have to have an emergency for us to go out and serve them? As Jeremy clearly explains that our great commission from Christ is to "Go out there and serve."

 

Do not forsake the assembling

I guess to silence the critics whose valid point would have been that there is a need for assembling as believers. What we as believers often forget is that the church is not the building but the people who come together. Jeremy explains how more effective it would be if we as believers would  spend less time bundled together and more time reaching out and loving those in our sphere of influence. I have personally been of the opinion that the issue we as a body have is that we present our love as a trade. Come to my church and we'll pray for you. Give to my church and we'll pray for you. Come to my church and we'll try and get you a job. Jeremy point out how extremely low the church's conversion rate was, and how we constantly "recycled" believers. We have many believers moving from one congregation or denomination to another and very very few new believers actually coming to the knowledge of Christ. Why then are so much of our resources used for evangelism? With such a low success rate there is surely something not right.

 

What about training

A lot of our gathering in church are always this and that form of training. The issue Jeremy raises is that we have believers being constantly trained at very high financial costs and seldom do they actually get the chance to go out there and use these skills that they learn. Jesus did not give his disciples any form of formal training. He took them out with his and they learned on the job. There were explanations here and there after they had had an experience. This is the method that today's church should adopt in order to see more success.

He also speaks of the need to get rid of church programmes. These programs often become a hindrance to the move of God himself, as they are man-made programs. Any form of church program should have an expiry date. This allows for re-evaluation of circumstances and evaluation of success or failure of this program.

Each of chapter starts with a quote that sums what the chapter is going to speak of. Some of my favourites are

1: "I would rather feel compassion than know the meaning of it."-Thomas Aquinas

This in my humble opinion sums up the need for training on the job, as many know these things in theory as the church trains them but are never really ready in practice.

2: "The more organisation you bring to church life, the less life it will contain"- Wayne Jacobsen

This also sums up the fact that the more we as humans put into organising the church the less room we give the spirit of God to manoeuvre.

 

Final Thoughts

This is a well written book which will challenge and question every reader. I recommend it to you all. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and have gone on to getting the rest of Jeremy Myers' books. He gives them free to his mailing list as they are released. Head over to his blog and find out more about this man and his books.  You will be offended, challenged and most of all you will learn quite a lot.

What lessons can we draw from Da T.R.U.T.H?

 

What lessons can we draw from Da T.R.U.T.H?

 

 

A while ago the press was awash with the news of Emmanuel "Da Truth" Lambert's stumble. You could see Christians all over discussing this issue in drones. On social media it was everywhere, Da Truth has fallen! I guess when you are in a position open to the public eye your transgressions are also open to public scrutiny. We discussed this topic in a previous post.Christian Leaders Scandals...What has gone wrong? , various comments were left with all sorts of variable opinions. Yet only God could have penned Da Truth's resurrection! What lessons can we draw from it all?

1.       Even leaders are human

For some reason we tend to forget that those leading us are just as human as we are. They too are flesh and blood, they face the same if not more temptations than we do. The feel the same way that we do. If we are to be honest we all have fallen short of God's glory, we are all sinners. I found it astounding though the number of individuals that were quick to cast stones at Da Truth in whatever way. Jesus said "Let he that has no sin cast the first stone."

2.       The righteous may fall

Alone we are filthy and sinful, however in Christ we find righteousness. Once we step out of him we are bound to fall, but this time we have no one to pick us up. It is Christ that picks us up when we have fallen. In an interview that I heard of Da Truth he openly admitted that he had grown apart from Christ. It took returning back to that first love to reform. This is a long race that we are in, we may stumble along the way but what matters most is how we pick ourselves up and carry on.

3.       Accepting Fault

I believe the first step of healing is accepting fault. Romans teaches that salvation begins only when man accepts that he has sinned. I was not personally in a position to see this happen in Da Truth's life, however I have been able to hear testimony of this in interviews.

4.       Working through it

It is one thing to accept fault and yet another to actually want to work on rebuilding that which has been broken as a result of that fault. For Da Truth marriage was at stake, credibility as a minister was also at stake. Most would have easily curved and conceded defeat but he chose to let God lead him through it. This is however not possible without the strength of the woman who has a willpower to work with you through this. More power to Mrs. Lambert, may the Lord continue to increase her. I understand from one of his interviews that Da Truth had support from industry veterans and other believers. That is what Christianity is about, being able to pull a brother up when he is down, and not talk or kick him down.

5.       Re-launching and Resurrecting

Just because Christ died did not mean that he could not live again! In the same sense, just because you have fallen does not mean that you do not get up and walk again. I was blessed to see Da Truth back in ministry again. Although many tongues were still wagging he soldiered on.

 

6.       Speaking it out (Sin come out through the mouth)

Having fallen in the public eye, I believe the most empowering thing that Da Truth did during his rise back up was to address his sin in the public eye as well. This closes another loophole that the enemy would exploit. Once secrecy is removed, the wagging tongues begin to decrease in number. The enemy's power is in secrecy. That's why many found his album "The Whole Truth" very powerful and empowering. It was written from a broken man's point of view. I have spoken to some broken man who have been helped in their mending phase by just listening to that album.

7.       Refocusing on what matters

It is easier to get through all this but harder to refocus on what really matters. In the same way a surfer who is attacked by a shark will not find it easy to ride the waves again. We've all seen Da Truth do this through the grace of God. Being able to refocus on family and on ministry. We've seen him tour the US and Africa and release his latest album "Love, Hope, War" He is a testimony that indeed J.I.F.E. (Jesus is for everybody). I for one am grateful to have witnessed the hand of the Lord work on this man. To watch the porter remould a broken vessel!!!

 

My only wish is that the church learns to view situations more like Christ did. To love when one is undeserving. To lift those who fall instead of talking about them or just watching them. As you finish reading this post I would like to ask you to just take a moment to bow your head and send a prayer up for Da Truth, for his wife, for his family, for his ministry and all that concerns him.

February 2014 Prayer Points (Harvest)

This month I just want to start by thanking God for the great work that he has been doing among us. He has continued to expand us, not only in numbers but also as individuals in service.
